Level 2: Applied AI Design Systems & Skills
Build a brand system. Leverage and audit design skills.
Level 1 got you to "I can prompt and verify." Level 2 gets you to "I can build a brand system and leverage and audit AI design skills." You turn a context doc into a reusable brand system, configure and audit AI design skills, refine UI/UX through structured critique, and produce a clickable prototype from a brief.

Building Brand Principles & a Brand System
Turn your Level 1 context doc into brand principles and a reusable DESIGN.md: color roles, a type scale, components, and do/dont rules. AI drafts the structure; you decide what the brand is.

Leveraging AI Skills for Design
What an AI "skill" actually is, and how to choose and configure the right design skill so the assistant does repeatable design work your way every time.

Design Intelligence & Plugins
Design intelligence is a reference library of styles, palettes, fonts, and UX rules an assistant can pull from. Learn to synthesize a DESIGN.md from existing UI so the assistant works from your real standard.

The Impeccable Command Suite: Refining UI/UX
A small suite of refine commands, craft, shape, audit, polish, colorize, typeset, layout, and the loop that ties them together: critique against a standard, then iterate. This is how good UI gets to great.

Auditing Design Skills
Before you leverage a design skill on real work, audit it against three gates: description quality, methodology completeness, and agent-readiness. Score each, then decide go or no-go.

Prototyping Fundamentals
Turn a brief into a clickable prototype plan: the minimum screens, the empty/loading/error/success states, and the wired interactions, so it can be clicked through and tested, not just described.

Capstone: Build & Audit a Brand System
The Level 2 proof: build a brand-principles system, then audit and refine a sample UI against it, and export the artifact. You run the full art-director loop and own every judgment call.

Build once, reuse everywhere
Your Brand System Brief
Build the one-page brief you paste at the top of every design and campaign chat so the studio assistant shows up already knowing your brand. Answer these once, then reuse it everywhere and update it when something real changes. Keep it concrete: name the feeling you want, the colors and type that carry it, and the rules that keep every screen consistent. AI is the studio assistant. You stay the art director.
